I may live in the south, but I’m still a Yankee when it comes to cornbread. I like mine sweet and moist with lots of butter. While this recipe could be made in a 9″ x 9″ baking dish, it really is best in a 10.25″ cast iron skillet. The skillet...

First, let me say that I love cooking from scratch. I love to know what is going into my body. From-scratch food is generally better; however, I have found very few cake recipes that can stack up to a doctored boxed cake mix in flavor and moistness. Plus, it’s...

I always enjoy the recipes I get from The Six O’Clock Scramble, and this panini is no exception. The Scramble is a meal planning service that provides a fully customizable menu and grocery list every week. The service is geared towards those of us who have a...

Even as a Work At Home Mom, dinnertime at our house is often a very chaotic time. Hubby is getting home from work, Farmboy is running off his extra energy, and I’m trying to figure out what I can turn into some semblance of a meal. If I’m not careful, we...

There are many skills that we learn here on the farm, but none are as useful as knowing how to break a full chicken or duck into individual cuts. We will typically break down the chickens we butcher before canning or freezing them. Even when we buy chicken from the...

Let me introduce you to my crack muffins. I promise you, you can’t eat just one. This tried and true quick-bread recipe can be used for any type of berries. I needed to use up some strawberries and blueberries, so I combined them both into a double batch of...
